You can keep them as simple as hanging them on a string using safety pins. On the other hand, if your wall has a curtain rod fixed, you can make small holes along the corners of one edge of the towel and pass it through the rod. You can also stitch several sack towels together to make longer window curtains.

Arm chair covers

If you want to add an instant appeal to your plain surfaces, then use flour sack towels as seat or couch arm covers, or transform them into doilies to place them on your dressing or side table. This will also help prevent dust buildup.

Wall decor

If you have a knack for embroidery and stitching, then a flour sack towel may become your best friend. They can be turned into alluring craft pieces. Due to their resistance to disentangling, you can use them as a canvas for embroidery or cross-stitching, stretch them across a frame and hang it on a wall! Another quick hack is to use iron-on stickers.

Gift wrap

Using wrapping papers for gift wrapping is mainstream! How about going out of the box and using decorative sack towels to wrap wine, essential oils, fruits, and soaps? Everyone will love this gesture and appreciate your consideration. Later, these towels can be reused by the recipients for various other purposes.

Make a bag

Fulfill your urge of craftiness – fold a flour sack towel in half and stitch it from three sides giving it a pocket shape. Now sew in drawstrings and turn it into a tote bag.

Donate

What better use could there be than giving them away to old age homes or pet shelters? Caretakers there can use them as rags, bath or kitchen items, cage liners, and more.

Ice Pack

Got an injury and you do not have an ice pack? Worry no more! You can now make an instant ice pack by using a flour sack towel. Pack ice inside it and your pack is ready!

Broom Cover

We bet you never thought this far! Use a flour sack towel to make broom covers for wiping spider webs and residue in the high edges of the room, on roof fans, and at the back of furniture. Simply overlap the material into equal parts, put the ends of brush bristles in the crease, and tie the corners such that you tie the two corners on right and the other two on left. Once you are done cleaning, untie the corners and throw the towel in a washing machine.

Wash your towels every few days and immediately if they have touched food. It is recommended to wash them in warm water – machine or hand wash is your choice. Also, avoid using fabric softener on a flour sack towel as it spoils the absorptive nature.
